Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program is designed to help those with heart disease recover faster, feel better & get healthier. This program actually starts while you are still in the hospital. A cardiac rehab nurse makes visits to discuss your condition & explains what you’ll need to do to get back to living your life.

Next is an outpatient exercise program, beginning after your discharge. This includes aerobic & strength training exercise sessions, personalized to your needs and preferences, diagnosis and doctor’s recommendations. This program also includes education to help you & your family learn more about your condition. Family is encouraged to attend sessions & to remain involved in healthy lifestyle activities.

Physician referral is required before patients begin. We offer cardiac rehab in Roanoke, Bedford, NRV, & Lexington.

The Chest Pain Center at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital is nationally accredited by the Society of Cardiovascular Patient Care, which means we provide an advanced "plan of action" for the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of patients experiencing chest pain. Our doctors, nurses and technicians have trained extensively in working as a team for quick evaluation and treatment. Patients are immediately assessed and given the treatment they need. Heart attack patients are fast-tracked to life-saving care through the Heart Alert program offered throughout our western Virginia service area.
